Chapter 40 – The Calamity of the Martial Arts School
Chapter 40 – The Calamity of the Martial Arts School
With a creak, the wooden door opened and Xu Zong pushed it open and walked in.
This was a room decorated like a teahouse, with a middle-aged man in a black robe sitting cross-legged in front of a tea table, his expression calm and composed, as if nothing could faze him.
The sound of flowing water could faintly be heard in the courtyard, and under the bright moonlight, it was refreshing and peaceful.
This was the interior of the Elite Training Camp, a loft belonging to the teachers.
"Have a seat."
The man in the black robe waved his sleeve and pointed to the seat opposite him.
"Take a look at this contract."
There was a white paper with black words on the table.
Xu Zong walked forward and sat down at the tea table as instructed, opening the contract.
A few big words were written on it.
"Official Recruitment Contract of the Extreme Martial Arts School"
Unlike the contract he had signed with Zhou Zhengyong before, which only represented joining the martial arts school and obtaining an official identity, the school would not ask anything of you or give you anything.
But this contract was different! This was the contract for officially joining the martial arts school. Once you joined, according to the contract, not only would you receive five billion in activity funds every year, but the school would also make some demands on you, such as joining a team, investigating which ruins, and so on.
"Five billion?"
Xu Zong muttered to himself.
With my talent, it's a sure thing that I'll become a senator in the future. Even Liu He thinks he has the potential to become a senator. Can you really bind a senator with just five billion? You should know that a middle-level War God can earn five billion in a year!
Lamplos said before that the activity funds given by the HR Alliance every year can reach one hundred billion!
Don't blame Xu Zong for being worldly. In fact, he is really in need of money right now!
"Below the senator, regardless of the level of the War God, the annual activity funds are always five billion. If you need money, you can go and kill Lord-level monsters yourself."
The man in the black robe said indifferently.
"If you become a senator in the future, the activity funds will naturally increase. Of course, by that time, you probably won't care about mere money."
"And the biggest advantage of joining the martial arts school has never been money. We, the Extreme Martial Arts School, have the most ancient civilization ruins in the world, and naturally, we also have the most treasures unearthed from them... You should understand that as your strength grows stronger, some things on Earth will no longer be worth your attention, only the things unearthed from ancient civilization ruins are what you need."
The man in the black robe took a sip of tea and continued.
"You will naturally understand these things later. Now, take a look at the third page."
"Okay."
Xu Zong opened the third page of the contract as instructed, and his eyes lit up.
Here it is!
This is what I want!
Xu Zong always remembered that Luo Feng, shortly after entering the Elite Training Camp, signed a special contract with the Extreme Martial Arts School because of his outstanding performance! Naturally, he also wanted to sign this contract. He had even thought about whether or not to challenge the Trial Tower again, but he didn't expect this contract to arrive so quickly!
"Party B, before August 1, 2060, if the power amplitude reaches 12, you can obtain a set of 9th series combat suits, a complete set of weapons, a complete set of any secret technique, and a piece of Dragon Blood worth 80 billion."
"Party B, before January 1, 2061, if the power amplitude reaches 12, you can obtain a set of 9th series combat suits, a complete set of weapons, and a piece of Jade Quartz worth 30 billion."
"Party B, before August 1, 2060, if the power amplitude reaches 16, you can obtain a set of SS-grade combat suits, a complete set of weapons, three complete sets of any secret technique, and a set of the 'Black God' from the ancient civilization ruins worth 80 billion."
"I was just saying, just saying."
Xu Zong gave an awkward laugh, then signed his name on the contract.
He was just mentioning it, knowing that the chances were slim, so he didn't feel too disappointed.
Mu Yajing has a huge effect on the cultivation of council-level powerhouses, and the Spirit of Grass and Wood, the entire Martial Arts School doesn't have much in stock. To cultivate a genius, would they consume so many resources?
"There is an unwritten rule within the Martial Arts School, only 'renewable resources' can be used to cultivate geniuses. Any non-renewable treasures can only be obtained by making contributions."
Wang Yu glanced at Xu Zong, speaking indifferently.
"And among the renewable resources, dragon blood is the top-tier resource!"
What's more troublesome is that only Hong, the head of the school, can produce dragon blood!
After Hong fell into a deep sleep, the dragon blood in the school's inventory is decreasing with each use!
The reason it can still be included in the contract is because there is still a certain amount of dragon blood left. Once there is not much dragon blood left, they might have to remove it from the contract for cultivating geniuses in the future!
Xu Zong's greed had backfired this time.
"Go, work hard on your cultivation. This is already the top-tier cultivation contract."
"I understand."
Xu Zong nodded humbly and left the room.
Wang Yu sat alone in the teahouse, occasionally sipping his tea, but a trace of worry inevitably appeared in his eyes.
"Headmaster, when will you wake up?"
According to the headmaster's character, if he were still here, he might really put the Spirit of Grass and Wood into Xu Zong's cultivation contract considering his emphasis on geniuses. But now, the school can't afford such expensive resources.
Moreover, what Wang Yu was most worried about was something else—
"Hmm? A call from Yao Rao?"
Wang Yu picked up the wristwatch next to him, his eyebrows raised, and answered the call.
In addition to the five Inspectors, the Martial Arts School also has three personal guards!
They are three council-level powerhouses who have been following Hong since the Great Nirvana period, loyal and devoted! And because they often receive guidance from Hong, their strength is generally a bit higher than that of the Inspectors!
"There's trouble at the Thunder Martial Arts School! A newly promoted Indian Mind Teacher council member is vying for power with several Inspectors, and the whole Thunder Martial Arts School is in chaos!"
Yao Rao's voice had a seductive charm that tickled people like a cat, but her tone was extremely serious.
"What?"
Wang Yu's face changed, his expression gradually darkening.
What he was most worried about had happened!
"With the headmaster and the Thunder God in deep sleep, some ambitious people won't miss this opportunity. The Thunder Martial Arts School has already suffered, and next, those people are likely to target our Martial Arts School!"
The Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School have been dominant for decades, and there are plenty of people who are displeased with them and want to take their place!
"Those bastards, when they encounter the Swallowed Star beast, they don't dare to fart! Now that the disaster is over, they are so unscrupulous, truly ambitious wolves!"
Wang Yu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he also understood the importance of this matter.
"Call a roundtable meeting. This is a crisis for our Martial Arts School, we must discuss how to deal with those bastards!"
